Investor guidelines

Simple safeguards every trader should follow, in line with SEBI's investor awareness advice.

Trade only through registered intermediaries

Deal only with SEBI-registered stock brokers and depository participants. Verify registration on sebi.gov.in before opening an account.

Avoid "guaranteed return" offers

No one can guarantee profits in the stock market. Stay away from schemes, tips or groups that promise fixed or assured returns.

Never share your credentials

Do not share your trading password, OTP, PIN or login with anyone, including people claiming to be from your broker.

Check your statements

Review the contract notes, SMS and email alerts from your broker and exchange after every trade. Report any mismatch immediately.

Understand before you trade

Options can lose value quickly due to time decay and volatility. Understand margin, leverage and expiry before taking a position.

Know where to complain

Raise complaints first with your broker. If unresolved, use SEBI SCORES at scores.sebi.gov.in or the SMART ODR portal.
